Spin wave and magnetic texture are two elementary excitations in magnetic systems, and their interaction leads to rich magnetic phenomena. By describing the spin wave and the magnetic texture using their own collective coordinates, we find that they interact as classical particles traveling in mutual electromagnetic fields. Based on this unified collective coordinate model, we find that both skew scattering and side jump may occur as spin wave passing through magnetic textures. The skew scattering is associated with the magnetic topology of the texture, while the side jump is correlated to the total magnetization of the texture. We illustrate the concepts of skew scattering and side jump by investigating the spin wave trajectories across the topological magnetic Skyrmion and the topologically trivial magnetic bubble respectively.
Exciton Valley Hall effect is the spatial separation of the valley-tagged excitons in the presence of a drag force. Usually, the effect is associated with the anomalous velocity acquired by the particles due to the Berry curvature of the Bloch bands. Here we show that the anomalous velocity plays no role in the exciton valley Hall effect, which is governed by the side-jump and skew scattering mechanisms. We develop microscopic theory of the exciton valley Hall effect in the presence of synthetic electric field and phonon drag and calculate all relevant contributions to the valley Hall current also demonstrating the cancellation of the anomalous velocity. The sensitivity of the effect to the origin of the drag force and to the scattering processes is shown. We extend the drift-diffusion model to account for the valley Hall effect and calculate the exciton density and valley polarization profiles.
Spin wave scattering in the right angle ferromagnetic cross was measured. Shape anisotropy defined magnetization ground states at zero biasing magnetic fields. Scattering of the spin waves in the center of ferromagnetic cross is strongly dependent on the amplitude and angle of the biasing magnetic field. Micromagnetic simulations indicate that low in-plane biasing magnetic fields rotate the magnetization of the cross center while the arms stay axially magnetized due to the shape anisotropy. We discuss effect of biasing magnetic fields on the spin wave scattering and approaches to an effective spin wave switch based on the fabricated structure.
We report on the direct observation of spin wave and elastic wave emission from magnetic domain walls in ferromagnetic thin films. Driven by alternating homogeneous magnetic fields the magnetic domain walls act as coherent magnetisation wave sources. Directional and low damped elastic waves below and above the ferromagnetic resonance are excited. The wave vector of the magnetoelastically induced acoustic shear waves is linearly tuned by varying the excitation frequency. Domain wall emitted magnetostatic surface spin waves occur at higher frequencies, which characteristics are confirmed by micromagnetic simulations. The distinct modes of magnetisation wave excitation from micromagnetic objects are a general physical phenomenon relevant for dynamic magnetisation processes in structured magnetic films. Magnetic domain walls can act as reconfigurable antennas for spin wave and elastic wave generation with control of the wave orientation.
Vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]$_text{x}$) is an organic-based ferrimagnet that exhibits robust magnetic ordering (T$_text{C}$ of over 600 K), high quality-factor (high-Q) microwave resonance (Q up to 3,500), and compatibility with a wide variety of substrates and encapsulation technologies. Here, we substantially expand the potential scope and impact of this emerging material by demonstrating the ability to produce engineered nanostructures with tailored magnetic anisotropy that serve as a platform for the exploration of cavity magnonics, revealing strongly coupled quantum confined standing wave modes that can be tuned into and out of resonance with an applied magnetic field. Specifically, time-domain micromagnetic simulations of these nanostructures faithfully reproduce the experimentally measured spectra, including the quasi-uniform mode and higher-order spin-wave (magnon) modes. Finally, when the two dominant magnon modes present in the spectra are brought into resonance by varying the orientation of the in-plane magnetic field, we observe anti-crossing behavior indicating strong coherent coupling between these two magnon modes at room temperature. These results position V[TCNE]$_text{x}$ as a leading candidate for the development of coherent magnonics, with potential applications ranging from microwave electronics to quantum information.
The interaction between a spin polarized dc electrical current and spin wave modes of a cylindrical nanowire is investigated in this report. We found that close to the critical current, the uniform mode is suppressed, while the edge mode starts to propagate into the sample. When the current exceeds the critical value, this phenomenon is even more accentuated. The edge mode becomes the uniform mode of the nanowire. The higher spin wave modes are slowly pushed away by the current until the propagating mode remains.
